The Belvedere in Vienna is one of the leading museums worldwide. Its famous art collection includes works ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day. Austrian art in an international context is presented in three locations within The Belvedere. Highlights include the world’s largest collection of Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) paintings as well as prominent works from the periods of Viennese Biedermeier, Austrian Baroque, Vienna around 1900, and French Impressionism.

The Kiss is one Gustav Klimt’s most well-known works. The couple in The Kiss appear intimately entangled, oblivious to their surroundings and lost in their embrace. With this work at the height of his “Golden Period,” Austrian painter Gustav Klimt created a universal allegorical statement about love as a central theme of human existence. The Austrian state bought the work when it was first presented, in 1908, for the recently founded Modern Gallery in the Lower Belvedere. Since then, the painting has remained in the museum’s holdings. Today, The Kiss is considered an iconic masterpiece of Viennese Art Nouveau and European Modernism.

The Belvedere partnered with Nimi to create The Kiss Digital Collectible, the first digital collectible from Nimi.

We’re always here to help. Your questions answered.

A digital collectible is a type of NFT or Non-fungible tokens, are one-of-a-kind digital items, with proof of ownership stored on a blockchain. They function both as a digital collectible, often of an artwork, and a membership certificate. digital collectible technology allows us to demonstrate verifiable ownership of a unique image, GIF, video file and can entitle owners to special rights like a VIP pass and backstage tours.

It is true that some digital collectibles use a huge amount of energy. It is important to understand that making digital collectibles does not directly link with high energy consumption. It is the Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm that some blockchains use to verify transactions that uses lots of energy.

Nimi uses Proof-of-Stake blockchains such as Polygon that can be multiple factors more efficient, process transactions at a much higher speed, and keep the energy consumption minimal. a transaction on Polygon takes similar energy to a Google search.

Your digital collectible is stored in your personal Wallet. The Wallet has a public code that the world identifies you with and a private code so only you can access it. The Kiss digital collectibles are minted using the Ethereum blockchain and would require a Ethereum-compatible wallet, such as Metamask or Magic.

A blockchain is a distributed ledger on which any information can be stored. Unlike other shared databases, information stored on a blockchain cannot be changed or rewritten. Whenever an digital collectible is minted and stored on a blockchain, an accurate and permanent record exists of when it was created, and by whom. While you can go and mint a digital collectible that is seemingly identical to a popular or valuable digital collectible, its provenance and chain of title is impossible to fake.

You will receive a link to your personal digital collectible on IPFS. You may add a dedication next to the digital collectible on the website via a dedication link. You will also be able to download the data file of your digital collectible tile to use it for your personal use at your discretion.
